Vtg 1940's Set of 5 Sheffield Limoges-American Chantilly 22k Gold Salad Bowls

Description

vintage 1940's set of 5 "chantilly" pattern 9" salad bowls with 22 kt gold trim by sheffield limoges-american. made in the usa. it is really quite rare to find a set of 5 80 year old salad bowls! these sweet plates are in the "chantilly" pattern, have scolloped edges with a 22 kt. gold floral pattern around the edges. amazingly, only one bowl has a tiny chip on the outside lip that I felt, but there is some crazing in the glaze and slight wear in the gold trim. I believe these bowls to have been routinely washed in the dish washer because some of the manufacturers mark has been worn off.  i have taken a bunch of pictures to help give you an accurate idea of the condition. please, please, please look at them and enlarge them. i always try to highlight any flaws with the pictures. they are, by far, the most important part of my ad. also. please allow for color variations from screen to screen. let's keep it real, colors do vary from device to device. please remember that this item is used, not new. do not expect new condition at a used price. it may have light markings/wear associated with being used. I try my best to highlight any flaws, but I may miss something by mistake. that is why I strongly encourage you to really look at all of my photos, enlarge them. the item in my pictures is the item you will be sent. I want you to be happy, but I do not accept returns, so please give my pictures a good thorough look. my home is smoke free but not pet free. please note that my measurements are approximate.
